I’m sure most of you have seen this list, but for the two of you who haven’t, this year’s Hugo nominees.
Two points:
1. Look at the diversity. Yes, that’s a good thing.
2. Look at the people I know and know of. Yes, that’s a good thing too.
Mira Grant (AKA Seanan McGuire)
N.K. Jemisin
Rachel Swirsky
Aliette de Bodard
Erik James Stone
Kij Johnston
Mary Robinette Kowal
Liz Gorinsky
Saladin Ahmed
I think that we’re turning a corner in terms of both new writers and diversity. I hope so, anyway.
Congratulations to everyone on the list. There’s some good writing in there. I’m pleased.
